She would have been so mad if he had just taken the pancake off her fork, without realizing she wanted to feed him. "Good, isn't it...?" She may be practicing for lunch - feeding him could get to be extremely enjoyable. Maybe he'd like her to feed him his lunch -- no that would be too much wouldn't it?

"Hm? Mmm yeah it is really good. Tastiest pancake I've had in a long time." Better than anything he's made for himself recently that's for sure. Though he would be quite flustered but also flattered if he knew Alisa was thinking of doing this again for lunch. He certainly would not stop her.

If she could get Sharon to slip out of the penthouse for an hour she might! "It's because you don't have Sharon to cook for you.. you've probably not even been having any home cookine." She paused, brushed her thumb against her mouth and reached up to wipe away a bit of crumb from the corner of his lips. Or maybe there wasn't anything even there! He'll never knowwwww.

He definitely won't since he's far too focused on the act itself to figure out if it was necessary or not. Alisa was hving such an easy time making him utterly transfixed with every sudden action she took.

"Ah --" that look on his face - oh goodness. She pulled her hand back, clearing her throat a little bit. "Sorry, it was just... you had a little..." she motioned at the side of her mouth. He had schmutz!.. at least so she claims. His face could have been completely schmutz-free.

"Oh! uhm thanks in that case." Rean said with a brightening blush, turning his eyes towards a bitout of bahfulness for the moment they had inadvertently jut shared when Alisa cleaned up his lips. Supposedly anyway. Still with that out of hte way he was free to start eating again .

Well that didn't go badly! So maybe... maybe she would try something new later. Though that might put poor Rean in shock and he'd forget to eat at all~! The smile on her face is definitely not his imagination though, "S-sorry, I guess I should have let you do that yourself." Instead of just taking it upon herself.

Oh no no no it was nothing like that. I didn't mind at all!" Rean was quick to reassure Alisa of that fact. In fact he might have been just a little too quick to cover up. Oh well surely Alisa would not do anything nefarious with that information.

Alisa is in fact, surprised by the quick reassurance, glancing over at him curiously as she reached over for some melon balls. "You didn't mind...?" Hrrm. Noooo, she won't do anything nefarios with the information. Sharon might, but Sharon had already puttered off to get some tupperware so they could pack up the leftovers.

"Of course not. After all you were the one who did that for me so..." Okay he might have slipped out too much because his mouth clamps up from continuing while the blush threatens to overtake all the way up to his ears.

Did he just say what she thinks he said? She quickly refocused her attention on her food, a flush rising in her cheeks as well. But this definitely confirms that she might in fact, get Sharon to give them some privacy during lunch to do just that! Aah, but then they will have free time afterwards, and then their date and oh goddess she had nervous butterflies all over again. "O-oh, ... I see..." Cough. Aheh, my what a deep color of yellow the cheese in th is omelette is!

He did indeed and now Rean was feeling as nervous as he once was as a young student back in the good old days. My the tomatos in this salad were so perfectly ripe. A perfect match to the red dusting his own cheeks as he quickly busied himself with eating agian while sneaking as many glances over to Alisa as he could get away with.

SHE IS EXTREMELY AWARE OF HIS PRESENCE NEXT TO HER and she doesn't know why she feels so nervous and awkward. "Phoo.... I don't think I can eat another bite." she sighs after a moment, when the awkward, nervousness got to be too much for her to bear. She leans back in her chair a little, eyeing the spread, then quickly picked up her glass of cranberry juice to finish.

He is just as aware. In fact he might even be able to hear the strong booming pouding in her chest given his borderline in human senses like that one time he was able ot make out the pessengers aboard the Eisen graf before the attack in Crossbell from the liberation front.

As it were though Rean was also done eating so he was free to move on to his cup of coffee.

"Sharon really outdid herself yet again."

She hoped he couldn't hear it with those senses of his. She'd be so embarrassed! "Yeah, she really sets the bar high for home cooking. I wish I knew how she learned to cook so well ..." She paused, frowning, "... but for her, it probably came easily." Oh lord Alisa now is not the time to sulk about your cooking skills compared to hers.

Well if he heard it, he was doing a good job concealing that fact at the moment. Seeing Alisa feel down on herself about her cooking quickly prompted Rean to take hold of her hand under the table again.

"Don't be like that. There's few people more hardworking than you. I'm sure if you keep at it you'll catch up to Sharon in no time." As if he would ever doubt Alisa.

Alisa glanced up at him, the smile returning to her face. "... You're right," she smiled softly, "And I have even more reason to catch up to her now." Being able to cook things for him when he visited - or when she visited him.

That smile was Zemuria's greatest treasure. Rean held that belief now and damn if that was ever going to change in his mind. He was absolutely stunned for a moment before he leaned over to press his lips to Alisa's cheek again.

"That's the Alisa I know~"

Wasn't that supposed to be Princess Alfin? Well Alisa sure wasn't going to try to change his mind, though she'd certainly be flattered. When he leaned over to kiss her cheek, she grinned a bit more, leaning over to give him a one armed hug, "Heehee. Come on, if you're done, let's get this packed up for the researchers." Though selfishly she kind of wanted to spend all day inside with him, wrapped up his arms.

...maybe tomorrow since it'd be his last day. ... she didn't even want to think about that though.

No, Princess Alfin was Erebonia's treasure. Alisa was Rean's and her value extended far far beyond the confines of the Empire. His smile was hidden by her cheek but she could no doubt feel it before he pulled away.

"Sounds like a plan." Though a part of him hoped Schimdt was not included in the group they would see. That man was....dificult to like to say the least.

His smile was her heaven - and he'll actually be lucky because Schmidt wouldn't be present in the group. He was a genius, certainly, but saying he was a nasty individual was being nice. His attitude went far beyond 'nasty'.

"Sha-ack!" Alisa yelped in the middle of calling for Sharon, because when she stood and turned to call for the maid, the lovely lady was already on hand with a few pieces of tupperware stacked and ready to be filled. "Don't DO that!"

Sharon giggled, "My apologies, Lady Alisa." Sorry not sorry, more like. She set the upperware down on the table, "Would you like some assistance?"

Alisa sighed heavily. She's going to BELL that woman one of these days. "I think we can manage - Rean?" She glanced over at him curiously.

The fact that she was able to sneak up on both of them like this without Rean noticing her either was already a done deal by this point. Enforcers still were something of a force of nature after all and Sharon was one of them even if not as powerful as say McBurn.

He did let out a soft sigh of resignation before he nodded to Alisa's question.

"Yeah we should be able to handle this just fine."

Sharon nodded, "Then I will attend to a little shopping for your return." Since Alisa was going to make lunch as promised. "I'm afraid I won't be able to stay however. I will still be able to help you in the kitchen, though, my lady, so no need to worry about that."

It's like she read Alisa's mind when Alisa had considered asking Sharon to give them some privacy for lunch! "And you two will be going out for dinner as well, yes?"

Alisa nodded - then blinked, "Wait, how did you know about that!?"

Sharon chuckled, "Oh I have my ways. ♥" She smiled at Alisa's groaning response. "But I will be with your mother and Master Gwyn for the rest of the evening," for a second she looked almost troubled - but only for a second. "So you both will be on your own until morning."

Alisa, on hearing that, wasn't sure to be overjoyed or extremely nervous to be honest. "Oh --?" Yeah try to make that casual. "All right then." Not looking at Rean not looking at Rean not looking at Rean. Yep yep, she's just packing up some food here...

Honestly asking the how around Sharon was simply a waste of time at this point. Still he could not really fault Alisa for trying. This kind of idle banter was also part of their precious relationship.

Of course, that pondering is throw completely off the rails as he hears that Sharon will br out. All. NIGHT. So it would be just him and Alisa. Aidios give him strength to resist the temptations.

Aidios have mercy, Rean might not be the only one having to resist temptations. Especially if he unconsciously used that charm of his. Sharon lifted an eyebrow at Alisa's oh so casual response, and leaned forward, whispering something to the younger girl before pulling back with a giggle.

Alisa's face turned an even darker red, but shep oitnedly ignored Sharon, "I think that's everything, right?" she surveyed the table, almost desperate for a change in topic.
